ANTI-CLEvELANDIsM IN INDIANA.

Disposition to Defeat His Renomination-
Warm Words for Governor Hill.
Washington Special
A prominent official from Indiana, who is will
Ing to talk. but timid about having his name
used; arrived here to-day. Speaking of the out
look in his State. he said to World correspond
emit: 81 doubt very much if Mr.. Cleveland
will be able to secure anything like full
delegation to the national convention. That
is the feeling to-day, and there are signs that
any important change is going to be made in
the future to turn the current of prejudice now
existing"
''Can Mr.. Cleveland or any other Democrat
carry the State at the next election2" was asked
'As every Democrat must admit, the party
in the State is IL anything but a good condi-
ton. Much of the discord is laid at the door Of
the President The local dissensions. growing
out of the troubles in the last Legislature, are
also very great There is no nse in attempting
to Disguise the fact that there is a great deal Of
antipathy from the party leaders against the
President and his policy. My individual ohserva-
lions would lead nae to doubt very much if Mr..

Unemployed Labor.

II. ID. Trumbul, in The Open Court.
So much poverty is concealed by pride and
selfrespect that the full extent Of it is no. easy
to know. The most reliable measure of 1t that
are likely to get is found ia the recent report
of Mr. Carroll D. Wright Commissioner of
Labor. In this report which is official and
rather conservative. Mr.. Wright expresses the
opinion that there are one million workingmen
out of employment in the United States, u per
cent OF all the men ordinarily engaged in agri-
culture. trade and transportation mechanical
and mining industries and manufactures. This
Is probably an underestimate; but even thus, it
exposes a substratum Of poverty in our social
system quite sufficient to account for tne present
unrest and discomfort of labor. BE- this esti-
mate We can measure the dimensions and extent
OF the distress and crime which now abound in
that curious mixture of contrasts which we call
the civilization of the nineteenth century. It
gives results truly as the merchants yard
stick. 1t proves that the other millions who are
not out OF work are inauficIsntly paid. A mill
ion idle workmen looking for a job must lower
the wages OF all those who are at work, first, by
force Of competition and secondly, because they
add nothing to the aggregate wealth out of
which all wages must be paid. A million of
workers ont Of work means a surplus Of human
muscle, an ovsrproduction Of men. A million of
artisans and labsrers cheap to be worth
nothing, must cheaper all the rest
